Excellent experience. room with no window didn't feel claustrophobic. ship had good facilities especially the lectures given by entertainment team. very interesting and informative. Food very nice . all drinks expensive although we realised this was the culture of the country. Crossing the Artic circle was a memorable experience. All staff very pleasant and helpful. Would recommend this trip as a special different type of holiday experience.
This was a good trip despite challenges with weather that can't be helped. Consequently very little visibility of Northern lights. Plenty of snow though! Nordlys is a good ship and although due for refit this year was still very comfortable. It must be remembered that this is a post ship so a lot of the stops are very short. However the scenery was fantastic and more spectacular than the Northern lights anyway. Would be interesting to do this to again in the summer. Don't forget you are effectively in Norway, so expect Norway prices for everything. The expedition team were well informed and very helpful in all aspects. Food superb. All in all a good trip with a very professional line. Would go with this company again.

My Husband & I embarked on a Cruise from Bergen to The Russian Border aboard The Nordnorge, in 1989. My Parents in Law had done this very same cruise aboard the same Nordnorge some 30 years before us. The Cruise itself is Awesome! As The ship is a working vessel. She & her sister ships are a Lifeline to All the various communities, villages, & towns along their route. Carrying Everything from Food, Medical , Building Supplies..., Schoolchildren, People, (businessmen & Others )., even Hearses & coffins. It is one of the most interesting cruises which we have done. The Service onboard is second to none. The Cuisine is also Brilliant. Yes, I would go on such a trip again.
